Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 70--Detroit, Michigan, Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity, Fluid Equipment Development Company, LLC 
(Energy Recovery Turbines and Centrifugal Pumps), Monroe, Michigan

    The Greater Detroit Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 70, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board on behalf of Fluid Equipment Development Company, LLC (FEDCO), 
located in Monroe, Michigan. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on November 28, 2018.
    The FEDCO facility is located within Site 77 of FTZ 70. The 
facility is used for the production of energy recovery turbines and 
centrifugal pumps used in water desalination. Pursuant to 15 CFR 
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status 
materials and components and specific finished products described in 
the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently 
authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt FEDCO from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, FEDCO would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to: Energy recovery 
turbines; single-stage pumps under 2-inch discharge; single-stage pumps 
over 2-inch discharge; single-stage pumps over 3-inch discharge; multi-
stage centrifugal pumps; and, pump spare parts (duty-free). FEDCO would 
be able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign-status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Steel 
cast flanges; steel cast rings; steel cast cavity covers; steel cast 
bearing holders; steel cast pump inlets; steel cast housings; steel 
cast seal carriers; and, steel cast impellers (duty rate 2.9%). The 
request indicates that the materials/components are subject to special 
duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301), 
depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301 
decisions require subject merchandise

to be admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is January 16, 2019.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

    Dated: November 29, 2018.
